Buying Surge — Far More Than the Usual Amount

Updated: Oct 5, 10:36 PM ET

As of 2026-09-29, 27 stocks saw open-market buying over the last 7 days at least 10x their 52-week average.

The biggest jump was UUU, at 758.6x the usual amount.

⚠ Recently listed stocks or those with limited trading history have a smaller baseline, so a single trade can produce an exaggerated multiple. We've flagged stocks with a typical weekly amount under $5,000 with a "Limited Data" tag — the API still doesn't expose how many weeks of history each stock has, so that part of the check isn't possible yet.
